Instead of Spain, Michelle Obama Should Stick to U.S. Vacations

Or better yet, quit going on a vacation every other week while real unemployment is up around 20% and black youth unemployment is at FIFTY PERCENT!! They live in a 50,000 square foot mansion, have Camp David nearby, have another mansion in Chicago and play more golf than Arnold Palmer, but that ain't enough?! This isn't "tone deafness" this is deliberately rubbing our noses in it!

What could the daughter have learned on a five day trip to Spain.

How to say vanilla ice cream in espanol?

This was an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars.

If she wanted to spend time with a bereaved friend she could have invited the woman to the White House for a few days.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I am sure if Laura Bush had taken similar lavish vacations we’d STILL be hearing about them.

It sounds like Mary Cate Kelly is a racist. So many racists in the MSM these days. Its just like Selma!!!

[Genoa]

Even their toadies in the Lamestream Media are jumping ship over this. Hubby’s already plummeting approval ratings are about to head through the basement floor.

[gundog]

If you have the ability to show your kid a part of the world and you can do that together before they get to the age where they don’t want to do anything with you...you get booted off the gravy train and have to pay for it yourself...

Fixed it.

She’s prolly just tired of being Barry’s beard.

[DManA]

Sure. She could go to Vegas and rent the Bellagio for a week.

[alecqss]

They need to have more vacations like that:[in the States]"

Can they be just done with this vacation business for some tim, please? They already rested for at least several terms.

[Ann Archy]

If it’s Tuesday, the Obamas MUST be on vacation!!

“If she wanted to spend time with a bereaved friend she could have invited the woman to the White House for a few days.”

Laura Bush went hiking in our beautiful Rocky Mountains when she wanted to be with her girlfriends. Such a down-to-earth trip.

Michellappalooza tour......

I’m sure she’s not proud of anything American except her flunky, community organizing, teleprompter hubbie.....

[Beowulf9]

Well, the downtrodden looks on the people losing their homes and jobs and the oil gobs on the beaches kinda ruin it for her.

I think this guy is serious:

Mr. President: Forget Air Force One - think "Airstream One"

Yeah...Barack and Michelle will pay attention. They will tour county fairs, stay in WigWam motels, visit VFW halls and catch fireflies at night.

And "bitter small town" America, where people "cling to their guns and religion" will rise as one and declare, gosh darn, this is the bestest First Couple ever!

[MagnoliaMS]

I am in perfect agreement with you all on the vacations. Off topic a bit, but when I read this line: Glamour magazine’s coverage (with photos) calls her “an ambassador of total glam when she travels.”, I first misread it as "an ambassador of total glUm when she travels.” On second thought, that WOULD have been more fitting!

[Edison]

Also a little off topic but has anyone given any thought to how this clown and is sour puss wife would act should they loose the WH is 2012. Would she go after the future First Lady? Sit there seething with hatred? Endure the boos and cat calls like the Bushes did?

These people can’t get out quick enough for me.

[dalebert]

hey Hillary took Chelsea on a trip...it seems to be an elitest Dem thing. to heck with the small people
